This film is made up of dialogues. In just over 100 minutes, dialogues should account for more than 80 minutes. The topics that Jesse and Selina talked about Involving all aspects of life, death, sexual relations, family, childhood, various life experiences, anecdotes, jokes, poetry, etc. are the focus of their conversations.
Encounters on the train, walking in beautiful Vienna, encountering all kinds of interesting people, kisses and deep affection are just creating the conditions for these conversations.
The whole story is nothing but an informative heart-to-heart talk accompanied by beautiful music in a beautiful landscape.
There are actually many such stories. On the day of the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, watching fireworks in Houhai, in the late night, countless foreigners hugged and kissed a woman from China or another country at the last moment of boarding the TAXI. There was a vague feeling in the air at night. If there is no sadness. I sat on a stone pier on the side of Houhai and listened to different styles of songs in the surrounding bars, singing all kinds of sorrows and worries, and sitting on a stone pier not far from me was a foreign woman, body There were a few cans of beer next to me, and I kept thinking about whether or not to start a conversation. Although it was a summer night, it was still cold outside all night. Later, her friends came and disappeared from my sight. I don't know if it's a blind eye or a subjective assumption. I always feel that most of the women in Europe are very good-looking.
Although some people say that body language plays a more decisive role in interpersonal communication than language, language is still undeniably the most important communication tool. Only through verbal conversation can we establish a deeper connection. During the conversation, we understand, trust, like and even fall in love.
Language is a symbol, it is a shackle that is integrated into our blood, how each person uses this cultural code, but shows all his character and soul, the conversation between two people is the convection exchange of words, and it is the two behind these words. a world conversation.
In this sense, only after sufficient dialogue and communication can souls be connected and love be possible. Before Sunrise really shows the process of love, although it is an accelerated version (the dialogue intensity is high, and the speed of speech is much higher than that of ordinary films).
Most of the topics discussed in this film have also been discussed with the girl I like. Maybe the form and expression are different from those in the film, but some of them are really similar. The only difference is that I can't make them. The girl likes herself.
Jesse is lucky, he is bold and charming, in an open cultural context, the girl and his aura match, although he still has to be saddened by adult rationality (the doomed separation after sunrise), but after all, that is the only night belongs to both of them.
The train is the best means of communication to promote communication. Since its invention, I do not know how many love and friendship it has promoted, of course, it is more of a journey of friends.
At the end of 2006, on my way back to Wuhan by train from Beijing, there was a middle-aged man sitting opposite, next to a young woman. After chatting quite a bit in Hong Kong, the man ordered a beer and pulled me up. The three of them drank and chatted all the way, enjoying themselves. When they returned to Wuhan in the morning, the cold wind was piercing, and they felt that the night was just a dream.
May 1 in 2007, winter vacation in 2008... Although those stories are no longer remembered now, the roar of the train is still so clear.
In addition, the train is also very suitable for reading. On the train from Beijing back to Wuhan in early 2008, I read "The Death of the Thousand and One Nights" lying on the upper floor of the sleeper. After reading it, I felt lost, sad and happy, and my heart was extremely melancholy. It was the most precious reading. Experience one.
The conversation goes on, the train goes on, and love lives on.
